Omron Timer

Hi All,

I am totally new to Omron PLC's and have acquired a program.

I am using a CP1L Processor and would like to have a timer start when a selection is made.

I need the timer to go to a maximum of 1 hour, but from what I can see the timer will only go to 9999 seconds.

I have a value coming from the HMI of say 60 minutes. This value is being multiplied to convert it to seconds.

I have attached the program so you can see the whole picture.

Thanks

Mark

Hello Mark
This is a hangover from Omron's dedication to legacy customers!
In CX-P, right-click the PLC, and select properties. Tick the 'execute Timers as binary' option, and use TIMX, rather than TIM (and all variations thereof). You can then select a preset value from &0 to &65535 (timebase depending on the timer type (TIMX, TIMHX, TIMHHX).

CP1E plc's and CJ2 are auto detecting, ie no need to select BCD of decimal.

Thanks Paraffin Power.

That worked just as wanted it to.

Thanks Again
